Luke-Acts and Empire Hardback
Edited by David Rhoads, David Esterline, Jae Won Lee
Part of the Princeton Theological Monograph series
Hardback
Description
In recent years, scholars have explored anew the interface between the early Christian movements and the Roman Empire.
Once thought to be quietistic, the early Christian movements turn out to have been critical of the Empire and significantly counterimperial.
This collection of essays in honor of Robert Brawley turns the spotlight on Luke-Acts.
The soundings taken here disclose deeper anti-imperial rhetoric than previously thought.
In brazen and subtle ways, Luke-Acts displays an alternative realm of peace and justice inaugurated by Jesus under the God of Israel.
The essays in this volume will lead you to hear Luke-Acts in fresh ways.
